Village De Chine

Review Summary

Village De Chine in Estrie offers a mix of traditional Chinese buffet favorites and a sushi bar, with hot and sour soup and lemon chicken highlighted as signature dishes and portions that are generous and festive. The fried batter is light and slightly sweet, the shrimp are fresh, and a recent update to the imperial roll batter makes them well textured and crispy. The on site ambiance is warm and the team seems to love their work. Several reviewers say they would dine here every week if their budget allowed. A visit with a mother described a warm welcome and homemade style dishes, with everything being homemade. Food is described as perfect. It is regarded as one of the best Chinese options in Sherbrooke. The wonton soup is among the best. The hostess is kind and samples of rolls are offered to accompany the soup. Sushi portions are generous and the place stays open late, near a popular bubble tea bar. A classic Chinese restaurant rather than a buffet, with consistent good food and warm service, though the atmosphere can feel a bit retro or aging. Chow mein Cantonese is very good. Takeout is an option. Prices have risen significantly over the past year and are not always up to date on the site, which can be surprising at payment. A negative note about salmon being watery and soy sauce priced high for what it is. Overall, Village De Chine remains a strong choice for reliable Chinese staples with good service and takeout, though some reviews note aging decor and higher prices.View restaurant profile
